You all know the trope

Its the not the destination, it’s the journey.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

A variation on focus on the process, not the product.

Think quizzically with me for a second, how often do you zoom out and relish in the life you are experiencing today?

You know really sit back and smell the proverbial roses of your journey so far?

We are always so busy, in such a hurry to arrive we forget the zest is in the journey, and the joy? is in the process.

For example, I was so obsessed with planning for the future that anxiety ate me alive — before I could even take a step forward!

I was so focused on becoming a doctor in that elusive “someday” that I lost sight of how much I truly love learning in itself. So stressed and worried I wasn’t “doing enough” towards my goal, I burnt out and wasted more time.
